Best option with 32" draw length?
 
My height/reach leave my bow selection opportunity quite limited. I need 32" draw, and a quality bow. I'm partial to Hoyt, but open to educated suggestions. I was leaning towards the Vector 35 Long Draw. Any help out there? If you can include pricing (if known) that will help.

Here is a Hoyt that goes to 32".

I have the Maxxis in 29.5 which is my exact draw length.

You and I must both be related somehow ... to the Neanderthals!

Bear Anarchy can go to 31 1/2" if you can work with that.
I have one and it is one sweet bow.

My personal favorite is the Bowtech insanity CPXL. It's really the only bow I got excited about for 2012. A close second is Elite Tour.

The Hoyt vector 35 and carbon matrix don't draw nearly as smooth as the Bowtech and elite bows.

The numbers I saw said the Hoyt Vector 35 and CRX 35 only went to 31" and go for around $800 and $600 respectively. The Vector is smoother than the CRX with less vibration.

I don't know the specs of the Hoyt Carbon Element right off because the $1200-$1300 price tag scared me off before I looked them up - it shoots really nice though.

The BowTech Insanity CPXL goes to 32" but you will likely not find it much under $1000. This is the bow I originally expected to end up with, because my old bow had a 31" draw and I always wanted a BowTech. It just didn't have that smooth draw I was looking for, the tiny handle didn't fit my big hands comfortably, and had an extremely noticable vibration (almost like a tuning fork) after the shot. I'm sure these things could be overcome with add-ons, but it didn't sit right for me.

The Mathews Z9 will do 32" and I've seen it for $769. It's a little slower than many of the others, but has a huge brace height to add forgiveness for that long draw. It's absolutely the smoothest draw you will find. Even with a 312fps IBO, your draw length will kick that up to be shooting 320s with real arrows and a loaded bow.

The Mathews MR8 can go up to 33" and can be found for $859. It still has an 8" brace, so a pretty good compromise if you are a speed junky.

I'm not familiar with the specs for the current PSE and Bear models - I just wasn't a fan of how they felt.

They're all great bows. You may have your own brand preferences and will likely have a different set of charactistics that are important to you. Go to your local pro shop and shoot them for yourself.

Try looking at Fred bear most of their 2012 line adjusts to 32" standard can get into a package for 399.99 to 599.99 for the packages and up to 899 for their top of the line that you outfit youself.
